Owner Murphy Says Cubs Have
Fine Chance to Nose Out Giants
By Charles \V. Murphy.
President of the Chicago Nationals.
Chicago, auk. 31.—The fight
for the 1912 championship in
the National league is by no
means over, anil it would not sur
prise me if the race would tighten
up from now on until the last game
is played in < tetober.
The New York club got off well
and secured a lead, chiefly because
the Brooklyn and Boston clubs of
fered little resistance to the Giants,
and also because the Philadelphia
Nationals, who are now playing
great ball were in a badly crip
pled condition. While the Giants
were meeting with little opposition
during the early part of the season,
we were experimenting with our
line-up to some degree and were
also battling with strong clubs,
like Pittsburg and Cincinnati,
which went very well early in the
season, and St. Gouls
This flying start put the New
York club In a position where It
sented to have things its own way,
but the present line-up of the Chi
cago club Is such that we will keep
fighting until the last ray of hope
is gone, and If the Cubs can get
some assistance from other clubs in
the way of downing the Giants now
and then, the race may continue
right through to the end of the
season.
Says Cubs Better Than Giants.
Personally. I believe that the Chi
cago club, as it la now lined up,
is superior to the New York club.
I also believe that the Philadel
phia National league club is equal,
if not superior to the New York
club We have h«d the misfor
tune to lose the services of Mor
decai Brown, who sustained an in
jury to his knee, and that has hurt
us some. We have also had the
same bad luck with regard to Che-

In my judgment, the Chicago
team knows more inside baseball
than any team in the country, and
I think we have increased our
pitching strength materially in
Loifleld, Lavender and Cheney.
Reulbach is going fine at this time,
and will no doubt be a big factor
in our success throughout the re
mainder of the season.
I do not think I ever saw Mana
ger Chance manifest more interest
in the game than just now, and this
Is largely due to the fact that he is
feeling better than he has for some
time past.
The tremendous batting of Zim
merman, together with his all
round play, has helped us largely,
and Manager Chance recently said
he would not trade Zimmerman for
any third baseman in baseball.
Baler and Leach are both playing
great ball and have fitted into our
machine nicely. Evers, Tinker,
Sheckard and Schulte are going
along as well as they have in for
mer years, and the catching of
Archer Is something that people
talk about every place the Cutis go.
We are well fortified in having
Tom Downey and Jerry Downs for
utility infielders, as both of them
are good tiatters and base run
ners and men of experience who
know the game.
Outfield Well Fortified.
Our outfield l.s well fortified in
having such men as Good. Wil
liams and Miller for extra men, as
we are practically carrying two
outfields. Needham and Cotter are
both good catchers and good bats
men, so that we are pretty well
fortified behind the bat.
If we do not beat the Giants
from now until the end of the pen
nant race, we will at least give
them a battle and a mighty good
scare. Personally, I think my club
has more than an outside chance
for the pennant.

Crackers End Trip to Chattanooga Today, Then Beat It Homeward
WILLPUYDOUBLEHEADER LABOR BAY AT PONCE
By Percy H. Whiting.
rrxHlS is the Crackers’ last day
f In Chattanooga. They con
clude their argument with
Billy Smith’s team this afternoon
and then bump home over the state
of Georgia's somewhat lumpy W.
A.- A. to Atlanta. And on Mon
day, the same being Labor day,
they open at Ponce DeLeon for the
last stand on the home lot.
Monday will be a big day. Noth
ing In the world hut rain can stop
it. The mere fact that the team is
finishing last, and a hopeless, be
draggled last at that, will have
nothing to do with the ease. It's
Labor day, and there’s a double
header on tap. That's all the peo
ple want to know.
There are a lot of folks whose la
bors interfere with their baseball.
They would like to see every game
of the season. But as a rule they
don’t see any except those of July
4 and Labor day.
Do you suppose that the mere
fact that the team isn't winning
quite all its games these days is
going to make any difference? Nary
a bit. They'll all be there.

The Turtle club stays until Wed

to be replaced Thursday by the
Nashville club, which finishes out
the week. Then, on the following
Monday, Bill Smith and his Chat

days. And with the departure of
the Lookouts the Crackers will
likewise depart. They hike to Mem

of his opponent lacked force.

be tried out. Schegg, the new
southpaw pitcher, will be shoved in t

Q PEAKING of recruits, a list of a
dozen rules for the guidance
of those just breaking into base
ball has been recently promulgated
and is here given, with the earnest
hope that it will be of benefit to any
who are trying to smash their wax
into the national game:
1 Be sure to call your manager
Roge, Connie, Jake or Muggsy,
as the case may be. Baseball
tacticians dislike a cold greet
ing.
2. If you arrive in the city late
at night, get your manager out
of bed by a phone call and ask
him directions to the park.
3. 'Tell everybody you meet that
night that you are Bingen, the
new outfielder, and can make
Cobb, Speaker, Wagner and Bak
er look like lazy picnic larries with
the willow.
4. If you were drafted from a bush
league for SSOO. don’t admit it.
Say you cost $25,000. but your
owner doesn’t want it known, be
cause too much publicity over the
amount involved hurt $22,500
O'Toole.
5. At the breakfast table, tell
strangers that your minimum
base steals a season are around
the 75 mark.
6. On arriving at the park in the
morning for practice, burst in
the dub house and shout, “I’m
Bingen, the new outfielder. Say.
Cobb, you play right field here
after. for I want center.”
7. Help yourself to the star
pitcher’s uniform and. when on
the field, make the others go to
the infield and outfield and have
an hour of batting practice.
8. In going back to the club
house for a shower, make some
crack that the team is loafing •
Tell the star shortstop that he
doesn’t play deep enough, and ad
vise the spitball iron man to cut
out the moist delivery, as you are
afraid of muffing a wet ball.
9. Call the manager aside and
say: “Lookahere, you let me bat
in fourth place, as I am the clean
up kid and have a better chance
to drive In runs.”
I he Big Race
Here's the latest on the race for bat
ting honors in the American league,
right off the bat, as it were:
PLAYER— AB. H. P. C.
COBB 457 187 .409
SPEAKER 487 196 .402
JACKSON 464 171 .369
COLLINS 437 148 .339
LAJOIE 331 106 .320
Yesterday was a hard day for Cobb.
By scoring the only run off the hitless
pitching of Hamilton, of the Browns,
he acquired a certain amount of honor,
but by failing, as did all his team
mates, to get a hit, he dropped back
two points in the batting race. Speak
er made two hits out of five times up
and that rather useful performance
netted him a loss of one point. Jack
son and Lajoie each made one hit out
of three times up. Collins, like Speak
er, made two out of five times up.
HAMILTON HURLS NO-HIT
GAME. BUT COBB SCORES
DETROIT. MICH.. Aug 31.-Earl Ham
ilton held 1 >etroit hitless yesterday, but
he tailed to keep Cobb off the bases.
St. Louis won. 5 to 1. In the fourth
Cobb walked, took second and third when
Pratt booted Crawfords grounder, con
tinued home when Austin attempted to
catch Crawford at second and beat the
return to the plate by sliding around
Alexander.
St Louis gave Hamilton splendid sup
port Hamilton failed to retire a bat
ter on strikes, but his fine cintrol. puz
zling delivery and excellent curve ball
kept the Detroit players for the most
part popping flies or rolling grounders to
the infield.
HYDER BARR SUSPENDED:
GASTON REPLACES HIM
CHATTANOOGA. TENN . Aug. 31
Hyder Barr was placed on the ineligi
ble list today by Manager Billy Smith,
and Dave Gaston, formerly of the Co
lumbus Foxes, was signed until the
close of the season Barr is suffering
with a wrenched knee.
10. Should the manager surprise
you by asserting that he would
stand pat on Cobb In center field,
snap your fingers at him and de
clare that he is a bum and not
fit to run a squad of washer
women. For a final thrust yell,
"Either you go or I go."
11. View it philosophically. The
best get it.
12. Just explain to the boys sit
ting on the chairs in front of the
Dewey hotel in Maysville that ev
erybody had it In for you and
they wouldn't give you a chance.
Anyway, you like Maysville bet
ter than Detroit.
...
"J* H E fact that the Mobile club
has been unable to hold the
Barons in their big series now in
progress seems to indicate that
Mike Finn and his merry men are
done. If they could win today and
tomorrow and then perforin a
string of miracles, the Gulls might
win the pennant yet. But nobody
would regard such a happening as
at all probable.
The race is over and the best
team will win. It isn't the best
team the league ever saw. b.v tenor
a dozen. But it's a well balanced,
well managed team, and it is a
moderate credit to the league.
♦ • ♦
T NTEREST in baseball from now
on will largely be directed to
ward the world series. The Amer
ican league race is as good as over.
There is no*chance that the Red
Sox will be headed. The Giants
may yet be overhauled, though it
is not highly probable. The South
ern league race is as good as over.
In the Sally league it is neck and
neck, but the closing games of the
regular season come Monday.
The end of baseball! s drawing
nea r.
And there will be no great out
burst of sorrow in Atlanta when
the finish comes. A tail-end team
for two years running is something
that few cities, outside of Boston
and St. Louis, can stand with'
equanimity.

Gotham Clubs May Play Sunday
Baseball on New Jersey Land
By Monty.
NEW YORK, Aug.*3l.—Sunday
baseball for New Yorkers
would be quite an astonish
ing development. Yet, such a thing
has now come within the limits of
possibility. Jt will become a real
ized fact if plans of a certain New
Jerseyite materialize. Professional
ball on the Sabbath is forbidden in
the Empire state by enactment of
law. The law not only is on the
books; it is enforced. New Jersey
has a similar law, but by mutual
agreement of all, it is not enforced.
So the idea is to have the Giants
and Highlanders—whichever hap
pens to be in town at the time
traipse over to the Skeeterland on
Sunday.
The ineeptor of this novel, not to
say revolutionary proposition. is
President Lillis, of the Jersey City
club of the International league.
Oddly enough, his bold project finds
Inspiration in adversity.
Grounds at End of Tube.
The new h me of the Skeeters,
according to pi esent intention, is
to be on what is known as Jersey
Meadows, on the direct line of the
"tube,” which passes under the
Hudson river from New York. Rid
ing on the "tube” trains the exact
running time to the new park from
the heart of New York city will be
thirteen minutes, from the heart of
Jersey City four minutes, from the
heart of Newark seven minutes.
Thus a tremendous population will
be tapped by means of the "tube”
alone.
President Lillis has the idea work
ed out in a most interesting way
that should prove a money maker
FODDER FOR FANS

King Cole may go to the Columbus team
on a trade.
for all concerned. Hi- Jersey City
club would play all its home games
! n the new pa k, including Sundays.
" lien thej haci a home game on
the Sabbath it would form the
opener of a double-header, with
Giants or Highlandcis providing
the second one. When his team is
out of town on Sundays the at
home New York club could have
the grounds for its game alone.
Lillis has in mind an arrange
ment by which the New York clubs
could pay him either a flat rental
for each Sunday’s use of the park
or a percentage of the receipts. He
believes that a record bunch of fans
could be herded inside the grounds.
The "regulars” would come over
from Gotham in addition io base
ball lovers who now do not see any
big league ball because Sunday is
their only "day off." Besides, he
considers several thousand fans
from Jersey who would enthuse
over the chance to get the big
league article close to home. He
can’t see anything to it but a big
bunch of coin for all concerned.
He has mentioned the thing to
President Frank .1. Farrell, of the
Highlanders, and President John T.
Brush, of the Giants. They are
non-committal as yet, but Lillis
says they are favorably disposed
toward the proposition.
Philly Clubs May Try It.
If the innovation is tried and
goes through successfully, it may
lead to the Philadelphia clubs do
ing a like stunt—moving across
into t’amden. N. J., on Sundays.
Pennsylvania has a law similar to
New York's that prohibits the
Phillies and Athletics from work
ing at home on church day.
